Advice on a quality Mic Preamp for around $500?

Ive been looking to pick up the FocusRite ISA One classic, and am feeling pretty good about it, but I was wondering if there are any other mic preamps in this price range that can rival it or top it. It will be for vocals, not instruments at this point so Im looking for a quality preamp in this price range that can bring a microphone to life so to speak...

Mic vs. . Preamp vs. . Interface

I plan on upgrading my mic to the SM7B but I am using a RME Babyface or the Duet2

What is your suggestion on what I should get?

I mainly do youtube commentaries and rap.
I will post a link below so you can hear what my voice sounds like and my rap song

Im having a hard time deciding what to get, so any suggestions will be very appleciated!
Thanks guys

DIY mic preamp options?

Hi all, brand new here. Hope I'm asking in the right place.

I've been in live sound for ages but am just building up my first recording rig.

I have a pair of AKG 414's and would like to complement them with some better preamps than my Soundcraft K1 console (which seems fine for general band tracking but I'd like something a bit special for vocal overdubs etc).

Looking for audio interface / mic preamp recommendations (spoken vocals, Shure SM7B)

Hi all! I'm putting together a home studio and am looking for some recommendations before I buy.

As for my situation, I'm recording spoken vocals for audio-only video games -- essentially radio dramas with some interactive elements. For now I only need to record 1 actor at a time, but I want my studio to support more than that in case I need multiple simultaneous actors later on.
